Feedback: The one element most festivals ignore.
Instead of paying submission fees and getting nothing in return, EVERYONE who submits to DOFIFF.COM will receive EITHER ONE OF TWO benefits: Either 1): your film is already competition calibre, and becomes an Official Selection, OR 2): you’ll receive a letter outlining exactly what is keeping it from being accepted. If you can make corrections, you resubmit for FREE.
First-time filmmakers: when have you ever received a letter and had the festival explain "WHY" you weren't selected? See why filmmakers thank us and say “Best Festival Ever!”
-Guaranteed distributor review by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation (WWMPC.COM), Adler & Associates, and Polaris Pictures (for Screenplays) among others, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU, for our select few ‘Best Of’ and "Award of Excellence" winners based on sufficient qualified entries. For this free service, DOFIFF requires NO CONTRACTS to be signed.
-The chance to thereby be included in one of that distributor’s buyers’ packets on the world film market
-A festival that is run as a web-based competition, instead of a traditional film festival: 100% of our effort and investment goes into finding a market for you, not into renting theatres unless it is dictated by the distributors to further test the market.
-All "Best Of Show" and "Award Of Outstanding Excellence" may have their trailers shown on WRPN.TV entertainment news next to Hollywood celebrity interviews (optional)
-Any film that is rejected will receive a personal letter explaining what elements caused the rejection (unlike other fests who never give any explanation at all). HINT: majority of rejections or low award levels, are due to insufficient volume on dialogue soundtracks.
-Any film that is accepted, but fails to move on to award status, will be given a free synopsis of the judges notes, at the filmmakers request, for free
-FREE Earlybird entry of any rejected film, into DOFIFF’s next competition, upon completion of the suggested corrections outlined in your rejection letter
-$28 flat fee for ALL STUDENT FILM ENTRIES regardless of deadline status (proof required of student status at time of filming: no refunds if your ID is not legitimate)
-Unique Category distinctions:
“Dust Collector” category for pre-2009 films
“Tight Shorts” and “Loose Shorts” distinction between running times of less than 15 minutes and those between 15-59 minutes
“Horror” and “Sci-Fi” have been separated into two distinct categories
-Finally, you can rest assured that our co-founder is a proud Committee Member for the Universal Film & Festival Organization (UFFO.ORG). The UFFO is a non-profit operating out of the U.K., which exists for "Promoting best business practices for film festivals.” This guarantees that your film will benefit from a fair and thorough judging process.
Since 2013, the association 'The Alibis' organizes every year in November, the FILM NOIR FESTIVAL. The festival takes place in Vincennes (near Paris) in France.
The Film Noir Festival is the 1st French film fest dedicated to the Film Noir with a retrospective of feature films, premieres and an international short films contest.
Competing films are submitted to the judgment of professionals, a jury of students and the audience.

Depuis 2013, l’association « Les Alibis » organise le Film Noir Festival, un festival de films ayant pour thème le Film Noir. Il s’agit du premier et du seul festival en France ayant pour thème ce genre cinématographique.
Lors des premières éditions, le Film Noir Festival s’était donné comme objectif d’éclairer le public sur le courant cinématographique qu’est le Film Noir.
Durant 4 jours, ce sont plus de 30 films de jeunes réalisateurs, au travers de la compétition internationale de courts métrages soumise au regard du jury des professionnels, mais aussi de cinéastes plus confirmés par le biais de la rétrospective généraliste de longs métrages et des avant-premières nationales, qui ont été présentés à un large public éclectique et de tout âge.
En octobre 2013, le Film Noir Festival s’est associé à la Film Noir Foundation de San Francisco créée et présidée par Eddie Muller, spécialiste mondial du Film Noir et fondateur du festival Noir City à San Francisco, à qui elle a décerné son premier Prix d'honneur en décembre 2013.
Pour sa quatrième édition, qui se tiendra du 24 au 27 novembre 2016 au cinéma "Le Vincennes" (94), le Film Noir Festival poursuivra son éclairage sur le Film Noir en proposant de nouveau une programmation de films inédits ou rares au travers de la rétrospective de 10 longs métrages, des avant-premières en ouverture et en clôture du Festival, des hommages à des réalisateurs, des acteurs ou des compositeurs emblématiques du Film Noir mais également au travers de la compétition internationale de courts métrages.
The Sandfly Film Festival showcases and promotes Australian and international short films and music videos. From award winning works to cutting-edge new comers, from tear-jerkers to rip-snorters, thrillers, classics and indies, Sandfly presents films with bite!
Last year we expanded our reach to include venues not only throughout regional and metro NSW but also major international venues – New York, Bogota, Berlin and Los Angeles all took part in what was an amazing festival and we are hugely thankful to all that made it possible.
We were very proud to see two of our films be nominated at the American Academy Awards in 2013: Aquel No Era Yo and Mr Hublot were both nominated with Mr Hublot going on to win the Oscar for best animated short.
Stay tuned for details of the festival coming up in November 2014.

페스티벌은 2026년 12월 6일부터 12일까지 개최됩니다. 페스티벌 주간에는 마카오 전역의 공연장에서 “SHORTS & VOLUME” 공식 셀렉션의 공개 상영, 영화 제작, 개발, 국제 영화제 큐레이터십 및 조직 마스터클래스, “Audience Award”에 대한 관객 투표, 갈라 시상식 등 일련의 문화 프로그램이 예정되어 있습니다.
쿠엔카 델 살라도 단편영화 16º 페스티벌 인터내셔널은 2025년 10월 6일부터 12일까지 아르헨티나 라우흐에서 개최됩니다.

Presentism is a philosophy of time that states nothing in the past or future exists. The only reality is the present moment, which is redefined. A moment is no longer like the blade of a knife, gone the instant it is felt. Rather, it is an extended duration of conscious experience. Reality is also redefined. The world is no longer characterized as a set of historic and anticipated facts, as in “once and for all.” The presentist defines reality as a world that relies on constant survey. And when events happen in multiple places simultaneously, they are part of the same reality.
We seek short films and video works (no more than 10 minutes) from filmmakers and artists that explore these ideas. How do we experience the present? What events today constitute a sense of the present? What activities constitute a constant survey of facts and ideas? How is the concept of presentism expanded globally in the era of live data? How does the moving image define a duration of extended consciousness? In what ways might the human condition change if removed from the past and the future? All genres will be accepted including documentary, narrative, animation and experimental.
FOLLOWING REVIEW AND SELECTION, FILMMAKERS WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL IF THEIR FILM HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.
ACCEPTED FILMS ARE DUE AT THE GALLERY NO LATER THAN AUGUST 1ST.
Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition
Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.
Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.

CINESPACIO에서 우리는 철새 조건과 제작의 시청각 형태와의 관계에 초점을 맞춘 그 작품에 축제의이 판을 집중하고 싶습니다. 국경이 끊임없이 만들어지고 상상의 선이 정체성을 위반하기 위해 그려지는 세계에서 시청각 부문이 구현 방식 및 표현 된 주제에서 자신의 역할에 대해 생각해야합니다. 우리는 국경을 초국가적 정체성이 태어나 갈등을 겪는 공간, 새로운 네트워크와 감정적 공동체가 생겨나고 끊임없이 움직이는 공간, 그들이 개인의 인식과 공동체가 소속되는 도전에 직면하는 공간으로 해석할 것을 제안합니다. 국경이 우리가 누구인지를 구분하는 것이라면 국경을 넘어 다른 사람이되고 화해와 터치를 통해 다른 사람이 될 수있는 방법을 아는 도전을 포함합니다. 국경에서의 내용은 외부에 의해 접촉되고 다시 동일하지 않을 것이라는 점을 명심하십시오.
